ALLEGED BANK BANDITS BACK Pair Are Returned From Kansas City Ed Patton, 32, and Louis Lazarous, 31, accused of a holdup of two bank messengers in Seattle recently in which they escaped in an auto with $25,000 were returned to Seattle ‘Tuesday from Kansas City, Mo., by Deputy Sheriff William Sears and Detective Bill Flint. The two men were taken to the county jail, but were later trans- fered to the city jail, They are held on open charges for investigation by Captain of Detectives Charles Ten- nant, who grilled them Tuesday. The long journey from Kansas City, where the men were arrested a few. weeks ago, was made without incident, according to Flint. The two guards were able to take turns guarding the prisoners, altho neither guard slept for two nights before reaching Seattle. The party left Kansas City Saturday morning. According to Flint, Lazarous’ con- fession indicates that the robbery was framed in an uptown hotel room a few days before it occurred. They were to have held up different messengers, from whom they expect- ed to take $75,000, but their plans miscarried and they held up the first they saw. Two alleged confederates, a man known as “Buddy” and another as Jimmy Ryan, are still at large. They are said to have been the leaders in the plot. Of the $25,000 stolen from messengers, $4,000 remained in money, while the men were in possession of an automobile and diamonds valued at . $3,000. The the money has been turned over to the Bank Insurance company. WE'LL TAKE THE SAME, HUGH! Boy. page Mr. Volstead!
